@@psychachu Things (Universe) will appear as they appear only if the form you seem to appear exists as it does. They are interconnected, your body is like an instrument wich creates this apparent Universe(experience) and vice versa. All there is, is an apparent experience happening, there is really no such things called 'real seperate things' or 'beings'. Seperation is just an assumption, a mis-understanding of the nature of Universe. And Universe is not in space or time, Universe (=all that can exist/ be precieved) equals ('your') mind. (Everytime I mention Universe it could be replaced with the word god)
I love how many times Chuck Nice's jokes are so intuned with the conversation, if you were to ever try and use them on a friend by saying, "My problems must have no gravity, cuz when I let them go, they just stay there."

I would like to thank you, Mr. Tyson, for the inspiration for my essay to apply to Georgia Tech for Mechanical engineering. You have always been a great inspiration for me in the way that I think. So thank you.
I was introduced (not actually or physically) to Dr. Tyson by my eldest daughter. He is her hero and super star. From Cosmos to Star Talk I've become a fan and desirer of knowledge myself.
If only they made school fun.... So many things done the wrong way now with education... I teach my kids more then their teachers do now... Since the teachers have become more opinionated than constructive.
I have been watching this for a few days now, the duo dynamics is awesome. Of course Dr. Neil is Neil, but the combination with Chuck's genuine curiosity with comedic twist make these episodes so fun to watch.
I did not realise Neil deGrasse Tyson was a Taoist. If you seek the meaning of life you will not find it. Similarly, trying to grasp the Tao moves you further away from the Tao. This show combines science, philosophy of life, and comedy in the most perfect way imaginable to me. Thank you Neil and thank you Chuck
I love that last one about the 4th dimension. Thank you guys so much for making these videos, I did not like learning in school, but now 10 years on I can't get enough of it! :)
This man is unbelievable, after each and every video I’m more and more interested in learning more.. he actually became a mentor to all of us, an example of how brilliant the human mind can turn. 👏🏼

Thank you so much for being here with us. You guys are someone whom I'll love to have in my circle... Who love to talk about these kind of deep thoughts. ♥️♥️ I am happy that I found you.
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THAT MR.NEIL. Thank you for a good 50 mins :). This video made me happy therefore this video made a change, Life purpose = achieved.
Can’t wait to see this guy in Mar 2021 up in PA. For those that have never attended an event in person, look them up, buy a ticket. So very much worth it. If you can afford the upgraded ticket price for a meet and greet, do it. He takes a moment with each person. And he really makes you feel like he is glad you’re there.

My favorite time alive so far being alive for the past 22 years besides my experiences with family, which I'm fortunate to have, is being in a classroom that provokes me to use my knowledge to the very point that it is no longer of use, and from that point, all I can do is become an open journal and absorb whatever new information that I have yet to acquire. Saddest moment was when I graduated college with a ridiculous amount of debt and realized going to school for more degrees isn't going to remove it so now I'm on the continuous job hunt that will allow me to go back to school while working.
I watched his first episode of the new cosmos after the superbowl; loved him since. I was already in college using my gi bill to attend university less than a year after serving in Afghanistan. I changed my major and I'm now a mechanical engineer. I was only 22 back then.
Chuck hit me deep,my thoughts are lost and scares my community.Some people even go beyond far beyond what a normal American or human being in general should have to go through.I hope my actions and things I think meet a equal line of clarity.I hate hurting people.Pray for me
I wonder how many times Chuck's had to sit through Neil describing his, "Aliens that are 1% smarter than US," thing lol like it's his first time hearing it. Or, his little, "I lost sleep contemplating the questions we don't even know how to ask yet!" anecdote. You know, just to humor him because he's said it so many times over the years like a Dad who tells the same stories over and over for the rest of eternity. 😂

It's almost as school limited your boundaries by forcing a lot of unnecessary things to you. If the usa would be like a lot of countries, where once in highschool your learning aligned to your career choice would that of been more to your liking?
@@christophercuston or colleges will lose their need/ purpose. They want you to go to school longer, another way to collect more money from you the student.
17:33 This actually blew my mind, that those sayings only make sense on a planet with gravity. Being High only makes it so much better to think about ;D A
Whether they aired the Startalk episode where I get to ask Neil any questions I want or not, I would still take it. Whether its uploaded or not, sitting down and talking with Neil deGrasse Tyson is a huge opportunity.
I didn't think this would happen or even exist, but I finally found a video related to Neil deGrasse Tyson where no one seems to be insulting each other.
11:51 When one of my scientific inspirations said: "Matrix is one my favorites movies" I knew I was truly following a really great guy 😁👏👏👌 By the way the resembles betwing him and Morpheus are quite remarkable 👌👌
The search for the meaning of life... it's different for each of us as we are each unique. Speaking for myself, meaning is derived from three things: have I helped today, have I learned from my search because this is the true prize, and have I accepted that there are questions that have no answers which I have continued to ask, knowing that there are no answers. Each of these is centered around humanity, how we view the world and how we act in it, how we center ourselves to the pursuit of knowledge, and how we engage with others in a helpful way. Despite the above, keeping in mind the tiny specs that we are, have we made a change that will affect the way that the universe unfolds?
@@atlormerjo8830 Basically what the quote means, there are things we know for sure, and we _know_ that we know them. For example, we know that if you drop a ball, it falls to the ground because of gravity. Next, there are known unknowns. Basically, these are things that we don't know about, but we understand the fact that we don't know about them. For example, we know that dark matter exists and it has mass (and therefore has gravity), but we have no idea what dark matter actually is. It's an unknown, but we know that we don't know anything about it. For known unknowns, we ask questions, and eventually, figure out the answers. Finally there are unknown unknowns. These are basically just things that we haven't even discovered yet, so we don't even know how to ask questions about them. For example, if you were to go back a couple hundred years, dark matter would have been an unknown unknown. We weren't able to measure/estimate the mass of galaxies yet, so we hadn't discovered that there had to be some other invisible substance that gave galaxies their missing mass. We wouldn't have ever had to imagine dark matter back then, despite the fact that it certainly existed back then, just as it does now. So back, then, it was an unknown unknown, because we didn't know it existed at all.
You know, I started watching with the thought that I would learn something, but I keep watching because I learn something and get a laugh! 😆 This is the best!
Say one day, you actually discover a way to see an element or form of matter or "non matter" that cannot be seen or received by any of our senses, but was discovered by a device or instrument. The device's way to see it is so obscure from our senses that we cant understand or comprehend anything about it what it shows us. How would you even prove this finding actually exists and can be an addition to what we know. Would it even be worth finding if it cant be researched in our current state of being?
Then the Alien need to be 100% human, to be more intellingent then a human,a chimpansee has 99% DNA compatible to a human and only 1% difference. Love you Neil
to me, I hate school but I love to learn, I listen to most of StarTalk's video recently already in my school, they skip all the universe lesson just because those won't appear in the exam
Star Talk is my own personal politics repellant. As long as I'm watching Star Talk, I continue to increase my own knowledge, instead of stunting my personal growth by watching bias news clips and reading ignorant comments.
It saddens me that nowadays manufacturing meaning in the average persons life is accomplished by bringing suffering rather than than joy to someone else everyday. The hubris and selfishness of man guarantees suffering in perpetuity.
Omg someone actually asked, "If the universe need not make sense to us then what's the point of doing science?" hahaha that's hilarious! 😂 Dude, scientific literacy is the most effective inoculate against those who try to BS you! If you know how to best use your given senses to accurately interpret the world in which you are presented, it makes it all the more difficult for you to buy into what someone else might try to tell you. You're less likely to buy something you don't need, or join some crazy religion or cult. You make better decisions in life, because you won't be wasting your time and hard-earned money on crap you don't need. You're less likely to fall for someone trying to pull the wool. THAT'S the point of, "doing Science," hahaha if you can figure out the way the physical world works, you can use that knowledge to exploit the laws of physics and improve your life, and possibly the lives of the people around you! The universe is under NO obligation to make sense to anyone. But, that doesn't mean there aren't CLEAR advantages to trying to figure it out!
Exactly similar to knowing your enemy, know their weakness, if you know your domain it will be yours to shape and change just like the the world keeps changing to adapt to our growing technological prowess and hunger for knowledge which will eventually drive us to beyond our planet, to others and other stars, how ambitious now, will be possible in the future

Thank you. Glad you made it.
One of the best parts of humanity, this show!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I didnt like school nearly as much as I loved learning...I learned more from personal exploitation than sitting behind a desk
It's almost as school limited your boundaries by forcing a lot of unnecessary things to you.
If the usa would be like a lot of countries, where once in highschool your learning aligned to your career choice would that of been more to your liking?
@@ishe728 I never understood why U.S. doesn't do career alignment classes.
But I remember it will cost taxpayers money.
@@christophercuston or colleges will lose their need/ purpose. They want you to go to school longer, another way to collect more money from you the student.
I was hooked for like 10 minutes on when he said "deep thoughts" with the raspy voice and accent😂😂
17:33 This actually blew my mind, that those sayings only make sense on a planet with gravity. Being High only makes it so much better to think about ;D A
I’m impressed by Chuck, being really
smart, coming up with unique continuum skills of ideas and questions. 🧐
Whether they aired the Startalk episode where I get to ask Neil any questions I want or not, I would still take it. Whether its uploaded or not, sitting down and talking with Neil deGrasse Tyson is a huge opportunity.
The whole beginning I couldn't stop thinking about deep thoughts by Jack Handey.
Lol. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the Barry White of Science.
I think this would go good on a t-shirt 😂
@@lovetheory9769 Barry White would beat both.
More like the Luther Vandross
I thought you said Betty White at first and I spent about a minute trying to figure out the metaphor before I double checked.
The first 30 seconds 😆😆😆 I love watching these 2
I absolutely LOVE this episode. I was absolutely hooked on y'alls chemistry
I didn't think this would happen or even exist, but I finally found a video related to Neil deGrasse Tyson where no one seems to be insulting each other.
11:51 When one of my scientific inspirations said: "Matrix is one my favorites movies"
I knew I was truly following a really great guy 😁👏👏👌 By the way the resembles betwing him and Morpheus are quite remarkable 👌👌
Deep moment when I got a mr tyson ad on his own video
Not really, that makes sense for an ad.
Neil borrowed the "car talk" feeling and made it his own. Nice
The search for the meaning of life... it's different for each of us as we are each unique. Speaking for myself, meaning is derived from three things: have I helped today, have I learned from my search because this is the true prize, and have I accepted that there are questions that have no answers which I have continued to ask, knowing that there are no answers. Each of these is centered around humanity, how we view the world and how we act in it, how we center ourselves to the pursuit of knowledge, and how we engage with others in a helpful way. Despite the above, keeping in mind the tiny specs that we are, have we made a change that will affect the way that the universe unfolds?
This Star Talk episode so interesting, informative, and humorous.....as are all of them. Thank you!!
1:20 in and the into is killing me. Hilarious!
Neil, I’m pretty sure your that 1% smarter human!
You're *
"They're are knowns, known unknowns and unknowns unknowns!" Haha sums it up
Jason Quick @ you lost me
@@atlormerjo8830 that's because he used both they're and are together lol
@@atlormerjo8830 Basically what the quote means, there are things we know for sure, and we _know_ that we know them. For example, we know that if you drop a ball, it falls to the ground because of gravity.
Next, there are known unknowns. Basically, these are things that we don't know about, but we understand the fact that we don't know about them. For example, we know that dark matter exists and it has mass (and therefore has gravity), but we have no idea what dark matter actually is. It's an unknown, but we know that we don't know anything about it. For known unknowns, we ask questions, and eventually, figure out the answers.
Finally there are unknown unknowns. These are basically just things that we haven't even discovered yet, so we don't even know how to ask questions about them. For example, if you were to go back a couple hundred years, dark matter would have been an unknown unknown. We weren't able to measure/estimate the mass of galaxies yet, so we hadn't discovered that there had to be some other invisible substance that gave galaxies their missing mass. We wouldn't have ever had to imagine dark matter back then, despite the fact that it certainly existed back then, just as it does now. So back, then, it was an unknown unknown, because we didn't know it existed at all.
You know, I started watching with the thought that I would learn something, but I keep watching because I learn something and get a laugh! 😆 This is the best!
I just want this man to sign one of my books ,won’t ever be able get to New York so won’t happen but I live in hope
Say one day, you actually discover a way to see an element or form of matter or "non matter" that cannot be seen or received by any of our senses, but was discovered by a device or instrument. The device's way to see it is so obscure from our senses that we cant understand or comprehend anything about it what it shows us. How would you even prove this finding actually exists and can be an addition to what we know. Would it even be worth finding if it cant be researched in our current state of being?
Subatomic Particles works just like that I think, that's Quantum Physics
“Trump Vacuums, we suck the best” lol
omg that killed me
DTS
They should leave politics out of it.
@@lordsnowy4638 trumpshould leave politics to the adult and atleast semi smart people
@@bravesirrobin5839 Semi smart people? I guess you are out of the question then.
Then the Alien need to be 100% human, to be more intellingent then a human,a chimpansee has 99% DNA
compatible to a human and only 1% difference. Love you Neil
I get what your saying but it's more like chimps are 98% humans are 99% and the alien are 100%
to me, I hate school but I love to learn, I listen to most of StarTalk's video recently already
in my school, they skip all the universe lesson just because those won't appear in the exam
I feel like they have a special kind of friendship. And it’s a beautiful thing.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...42!!
I am, therefore I think.
I THINK THEREFORE I AM...
"The first person will never die is now alive" mind fked.
Not even two minutes in and I already adore the both of you! Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! 💙
I love you Neil. I can listen to you talk for my entire life.
The Harvey Fierstein impression at the beginning was all I really needed to give this video a 10/10
It was pitch perfect. Totally took me by surprised. Chuck gets extra points for that.
"When astronauts get back from space ; 'What am I gonna do about my legs?!' "
wiggle, tickle, tingle, and bind them 40$
You are now imagining all of Neil’s lines voiced over by his older brother, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
Charlie O'Connor LMFAO dude that episode was hilarious I love Mike Tyson Mysteries!!
And a few months later it knocks on your door:
- Hi there, my name is Corona!
Curtain fall...
I feel like they have a special kind of friendship. What a beautiful thing.
They're married
Star Talk is my own personal politics repellant.
As long as I'm watching Star Talk, I continue to increase my own knowledge, instead of stunting my personal growth by watching bias news clips and reading ignorant comments.
I thought this was going be about The Ocean...
It saddens me that nowadays manufacturing meaning in the average persons life is accomplished by bringing suffering rather than than joy to someone else everyday. The hubris and selfishness of man guarantees suffering in perpetuity.
Omg someone actually asked, "If the universe need not make sense to us then what's the point of doing science?" hahaha that's hilarious! 😂
Dude, scientific literacy is the most effective inoculate against those who try to BS you!
If you know how to best use your given senses to accurately interpret the world in which you are presented, it makes it all the more difficult for you to buy into what someone else might try to tell you.
You're less likely to buy something you don't need, or join some crazy religion or cult.
You make better decisions in life, because you won't be wasting your time and hard-earned money on crap you don't need.
You're less likely to fall for someone trying to pull the wool.
THAT'S the point of, "doing Science," hahaha if you can figure out the way the physical world works, you can use that knowledge to exploit the laws of physics and improve your life, and possibly the lives of the people around you!
The universe is under NO obligation to make sense to anyone.
But, that doesn't mean there aren't CLEAR advantages to trying to figure it out!
Exactly similar to knowing your enemy, know their weakness, if you know your domain it will be yours to shape and change just like the the world keeps changing to adapt to our growing technological prowess and hunger for knowledge which will eventually drive us to beyond our planet, to others and other stars, how ambitious now, will be possible in the future
Neil is great, but the best part about this podcast is Chuck imo. Always cracking me up, Chuck!
The Deep & The Deep Part II added to Watch later. Going to listen to these again now as I crash out. Thanks.
